The solution is simple in principle. Go to /dev and use the
command
./MEKEDEV tz#
to generate the drives. But it was not so simple to find out what is the
right tz number. In principle I should dig /var/adm/messages or try
uerf -r 300|more
and find out what tz number clears during boot. I have found:
Jun 21 00:41:50 XXXXXXX vmunix: tz5 at scsi0 bus 0 target 5 lun 0
(DEC TLZ07 (C)DEC 4BE0)
So it looked like tz5 but it did not work! There is a prescription to
find the number and it is the following;
number = (bus * 8) + target-id
As a matter of fact, with the sequence of commands
# scu scan edt
# scu show edt
I could have a clue that bus 0, target 6, refers to
Bus: 0, Target: 6, Lun: 0, Device Type: Sequential Access
But anyway I guessed by taking my chance, guided by the scsi address
in the back of the unit (just a coincidence?), that it could be 6; in
effect
./MEKEDEV tz6
generated *rmt* drivers that are working in harmony with my tape drive!

Original posting:
We have a external DAT tape unit (4 mm, model TLZ07-DA) that used
to hold 8 Gb with high density, hooked on a Alpha Station 400-4/233
running DU V3.2D-1. About a year ago the unit stopped working -
it looks like it is not recognized any more since mt status gives
/dev/nrmt0h: No such file or directory
In effect, there is no rmt driver in /dev. Could anyone tell
me how to reinstall this unit?
